The hardtop warranty will be voided if the
top is modified in any way or heavy accesso-
ries are mounted to the top. Also, if items
like radar antennas, spotlights and other
accessories are mounted in the wrong loca-
tion, the warranty can be voided. If you
intend to add equipment or make modifica-
tions to the hardtop, contact Pursuit Cus-
tomer Relations to make sure the equipment
you would like to add or the intended modifi-
cation will not void the warranty on the top.
There is a hole drilled in each of the leg
bases to prevent water from being trapped
within the leg and provide wire routing for
accessories. A smaller hole is drilled in the
tubing at the base of the other legs is to
allow water to drain only. Keep the hardtop
leg drains clean, especially before winter
lay-up.
Hardtop Canvas (Optional)
Because the aluminum frames vary slightly,
the side curtains and front curtain are cus-
tom made to each boat at the factory. Slide
the side curtains, first, then the front curtain
into the slide tracks on the windshield and
hardtop. Start the zippers, but DO NOT zip
closed. Snap the side curtains to the deck
and then the hardtop legs. The side curtains
will have to be stretched slightly to pull out
the wrinkles and reach the snaps. Once the
curtains are snapped in place, close the zip-
pers.
If you have an optional aft cockpit cover,
slide it into the track on the back of the hard-
top and start but don't close the zippers that
join it to the side curtains, snap the aft cur-
tain to the deck and close the zippers. A
support pole is provided to prevent a low
spot that would cause water to puddle in the
cover.
Cold weather can make the clear vinyl mate-
rial on the curtains stiff and difficult to stretch
to the snaps. This can be particularly difficult
with new canvas that has been stored off the
boat. Lay the curtains in the sun for 30 min-
utes during the heat of the day to make
installation easier in cold weather.
Optional Bimini Top (Optional)
The canvas for Pursuit boats is custom fit to
each boat. The optional bimini top is
designed with a relatively flat profile and a
snug fit.
To install the Bimini top, attach the main legs
to the deck hinges using the quick release
pins and leave the rear stanchions loose.
Next, open the bimini and attach the front
stanchion to the deck hinge on the top of the
windshield frame. Attach the rear stan-
chions, one at a time, to the rear deck
hinges located near the rear of the wind-
shield. Use your body weight on the rear
corner of the bimini to pull down and stretch
the fabric until the stanchion eye end lines
up with the hole in the deck hinge. Secure
each eye end to the deck hinge with the
quick release pins. If the top is still adjusted
to factory specifications, the top will be level
and the main legs will have a visible bow in
them.
To install the side curtains and front connec-
tor start with the side curtains. Slide them
into the tracks on the windshield. Slide each
section of the front connector into the wind-
shield. Start the zippers but don't close
them. Snap the side curtains in place and
close all of the zippers. If the bimini is
adjusted properly, the side curtains will have
to be stretched slightly to pull out the wrin-
kles and reach the snaps. The main load for
the top should remain on the front and the
rear stanchions. Attach the aft curtain to the
zipper on the back of the bimini and to the
side curtains. Snap the curtain to the deck
and cockpit.
The optional tonneau cover is installed start-
ing the snaps at the bow and working
around each side to the windshield. The
center section attaches to the window with
snaps.
Note: Cool weather can make the clear vinyl
material stiff and difficult to stretch to the
snaps. This can be particularly difficult with
new canvas that has been stored off the
boat. Laying the curtains in the sun for 30
minutes during the heat of the day will make
installing them much easier in cold weather.
